VGChartz's Daniel Parker: "All things considered, Dirt 5 delivers with its aesthetically pleasing visuals, tracks, cars, and menu design. The sound design adds much life to the game, with great performances from Donut Media, Nolan North, and Troy Baker. Of course, this is all held together well with equally polished gameplay. The few strikes I have against Dirt 5 are its handling of the online mode and lack of robust customization options, but in the areas that really matter it's very good indeed. With how much this game packs in, you'll stay busy for some time to come and will surely not be disappointed."
With the DualSense's adaptive triggers, racing games feel right at home on the PS5, but which are the best racing games?
Man I wish arcade racers would make a comeback. Racing games have become so boring if you're not into SIM or semi-Sims. That isn't discrediting SIMs, I'd just rather get chased by police, ram people off the road, drift at impossible speeds. The Crew 2 and NFS are just a bit average at best.
All available January 4.
Looking forward to feeling the road deform under my thumbs in Dirt 5. I loved it on XB so playing it on PS to earn some trophies will be just as fun if not more thanks to the DS.
What are the best racing games? From Gran Turismo to Mario Kart, here are the best driving games you can play right now.
Best racing game last gen, for me, was the excellent Driveclub, without a single doubt. Flawed launch perhaps, but they more than made up for that.
Dirt 2 GOTY (the base-game was a bit too empty, but the GOTY is packed with content) also deserves a mention, for fans of the genre.
